3. STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

3.3 Temporary soft lining

3.1 Tissue conditioning

1. The general directions above in Steps 3.1.,1-6 should be

followed. Lynal Tissue Conditioner and Temporary Reliner will
act as a soft liner for varying periods of time.
2. Periodically recall patient and evaluate liner.
3. Lynal Tissue Conditioner and Temporary Reliner should be
completely removed by grinding with an acrylic bur, and
replaced as outlined above, when any of the following occur:
Material loses resilience
Material exhibits surface discoloration
Material causes patient discomfort

1. Clean denture with brush and detergent solution. Disinfect

denture according to manufacturers or dental laboratorys
instructions. Relieve pressure areas and undercuts by grinding.
Thoroughly rinse and dry denture surface.
2. Using the brush-cap, apply Separator for Lynal Tissue
Conditioner and Temporary Reliner only to areas where bonding
is not desired e.g., external denture base and denture tooth
surfaces. Do not use brush on contaminated (non-disinfected)
denture surfaces.
3. Measure 10mL of powder in measuring vial. Using pipette,
dispense 4.0mL of liquid into mix cup. Replace container caps.
Add powder to liquid and stir for 30 seconds. Recommended
powder/liquid ratio is 3g/2mL. A slight increase in the amount of
powder used will produce a stiffer mix. Up to 0.5mL liquid may
be added to produce a thinner mix if desired.
4. Cover tissue surface of denture with Lynal Tissue Conditioner
and Temporary Reliner mixture. To overcome the initial tackiness
of the mix during placement in the denture, the operator may
moisten his fingers.
5. Insert denture with Lynal Tissue Conditioner and Temporary
Reliner material into mouth approximately 2 or 3 minutes from
start of mix. Remove undesired excess beyond denture, e.g.,
retromolar areas. Instruct patient to close gently in normal
occlusion and remain in rest position for a minimum of 2
minutes. Then have the patient read aloud and perform
functional movements. Alternatively, the operator can perform
border molding manipulation as per usual techniques. These
exercises should take approximately 2 minutes.
6. Remove denture from mouth in approximately 7 to 8 minutes
from start of mix. Check for proper coverage, especially in
border areas. Trim excess with a sharp instrument.
7. Recall patient after a few days. Following the above directions, a
new mix may be added to deficient areas. Continue treatment
until tissues have returned to normal. Technique Tip: Study
models may be used to record progress of conditioning
procedure. Pour cast immediately to preserve maximum detail.
8. Following completion of tissue conditioning, proceed to
Functional Impression (Section 2), Soft Lining (Section 3) or
standard rebasing or remaking impression techniques.

3.2 Functional impression-taking

3.4 Maintenance of Lynal Tissue Conditioner and

Temporary Reliner treated dentures
After 1 day in the mouth Lynal Tissue Conditioner and Temporary

soft-bristled brush and clear water. Do not use commercially
available chemical cleansers. Do not immerse denture in cleaning
solutions.

4. HYGIENE
